Chapter 652: "Grim Prospects Ahead" -Discussion

[Rori]

Pekoms : Logia who thinks they're invincible have short life spans.

nooooooooooooo Ace!!

[Shergal]

haha you're being a tad too extreme with your sarcasm. But seriously, its weird how the translators don't have doubts when they write something far-fetched like this.

Maybe it was like that in the original... the guy has sunglasses, after all.

[tatermoog]

So, what's the speculation on who Caribou's "you-know-who" is?

[DEE JAY]

Was G-5 mentioned before? It sounds familiar...

Yup, it was mentioned after the war.. Smoker had a private talk with Sengoku or someone else HIGH ranked in the marines so he could have that section in the new world

And i remember that he said he'd assume everything knowin' that place is dangerous.

---------------------------

Now I have a question, Cariboo mentionned something that reminds me of Harry Potter

DOES HE WORK FOR VOLDEMORT ? lol seriously? Whom it might be?

Here's the exact page (lowest panel):

Spoiler:

[DEE JAY]

Now that i've been thinkin' .... Maybe Cariboo is one of the prisoners that escaped from Impel down? and maybe he's as stupid as the rest of the prisoners that joined BUGGY?

Maybe Buggy is concidered as their god or something lol, since Cariboo acts like a morron... thats a possibility

eitherway, I think he must be talkin' about BLACKBEARD.

[Zortegus]

Perfect, perfect, perfect. Tashigi is so lovely <3 and Smoker promises to be and look like a badass.

Loved Pekoms destroying Caribou so fucking much (poor Caribou... everyone defeats him xD) and Luffy's face when he says "Let's go to the New World!" (Franky's hair on that scene too, of course <3) xD

P.S.: Great cover, Chimney looks so cool! But... WHERE IS KOKORO?! I thought Chimney and her would share a cover... She can't be dead or something, right? ;-;

[Kokolores]

Tashigi is badass now. I'm starting to think she might actually put up a fight against Zoro.

She may be on the same level now as Zoro was before the skip, but I don't think much has changed in their relative power. Zoro has become a monster who will soon face the number one of a Yonkou.

On a related note I wonder how much fodder Smoker and Tashigi have on board and whether there are a couple of others who can pull their own weight against the SH. If Smoker is to emulate Garp as the marine who relentlessly hunts the king of pirates he needs some serious back up in my opinion. Otherwise Smoker just won't appear threatening enough to validate his hype.

Perfect, perfect, perfect. Tashigi is so lovely <3 and Smoker promises to be and look badass as hell.

She's working as GILF secretary for Iceburg.

Great chapter, but there's something that still bothers me. If Jinbe were to join Luffy right now, wouldn't that turn the Sun Pirates into Big Mom's targets too? If Jinbe values the lives of his crew so much, I doubt he would want to be seen with the kid that just challenged the person that has a hold on them.

[Katzztar]

Caribou's bounty is 210 mil. It was said at Sabaody.

Yeah but I responding to what was said about the "2 billion" should be million. Funny no one said the 2 should be 210 until I cracked a joke at it.

[King Cannon]

So, what's the speculation on who Caribou's "you-know-who" is?

Doflamingo seems to be the most popular candidate.

[DarthAsthma]

What do you guys think about pekoms turtle shell? zoan? I rather think that it's just like an armor he can use to infuse it with haki or what not.

[Don Quichotte De Flamingo]

I have an idea about Pekoms.
How about him having not a turtle DF?

I mean he and Bepo seem to be DF users because of their appearance..just like the guardians in ID.
So Pekoms can`t have a turtle-DF or else he couldn`t look like a lion.
Maybe he just wears that turtle shell on his back and uses it for defence.

[Jabra]

Pekoms : Logia who thinks they're invincible have short life spans.

nooooooooooooo Ace!!

LOL, good one. I really like how things get turned upside down in the New World...the "weak" Zoan user trashing the almighty, invincible Logia.

(Pekoms is a confirmed user now, right? Turtle related?)

I thought the same, but his answer to Caribou's "Zoan user?" question was "Of course...". Some native should look over the raws

If Jinbe values the lives of his crew so much, I doubt he would want to be seen with the kid that just challenged the person that has a hold on them.

I'm pretty sure the remnants of the Sun Pirates will be going back to FI,hiding in the now closed off Fishman District.

[marc0.]

I thought the same thing =] Donflamingo is really good guess

also guys 2 billion may not be mistranslation, because it's easy to see 1 more zero than the original written
it would write 210000000belli and he saw 2100000000belli
so my guess is that pekoms doesn't have good vision :D

[chibi15]

Smoker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fangirls~~~~~~ i can't wait to see his full design!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Roronoa Dodo]

So we'll be seeing Kokoro/Iceberg or Franky Family/Shipwrights next week, right? That will be followed by Rolling Pirates, then Amazon Lily. We may then see the people associated with the respective strawhats and maybe Dadan? And that should end the series. Have I missed anyone?

[otnira]

Love Pekoms' quote!
Maybe he's lion who ate turtle-zoan-type fruit, no?

[Kokolores]

Doflamingo seems to be the most popular candidate.

Who else? Ever since Jaya we've seen Doflamingo gathering rookies who lack great ambition and are rather focussed on the quick and easy gain.
